Dear Hotcoiners,
TradFi or Crypto: Which market will come out on top?
Hotcoin is launching the TradFi vs Crypto Showdown campaign, bringing the two markets head-to-head. Join the campaign once to participate in both tracks, make your first TradFi futures trade for a chance to receive 100% loss reimbursement, and trade across both TradFi and Crypto. At the end of the campaign, the track with the higher total trading volume will be crowned the winner, with 150,000 USDT in rewards up for grabs.
Campaign Period: 2026-08-26 00:00 – 2026-09-04 23:59 (UTC+8)
Event 1: 100% TradFi Loss Reimbursement | Get Up to 500 USDT Back
During the campaign, users who join the campaign and make their first TradFi futures trade can qualify for 100% loss reimbursement by meeting both of the following requirements:
Eligible users who incur an actual trading loss will receive reimbursement equal to 100% of the loss amount, up to 500 USDT.
Event 2: TradFi vs Crypto Showdown | 150,000 USDT on the Line
During the campaign, all valid trading volume generated by users who have joined the campaign will automatically count toward the applicable track:
TradFi Track: Hotcoin TradFi spot and futures products.
Crypto Track: Hotcoin Crypto spot and futures products.
No track selection is required. Once you join the campaign, your eligible trades will automatically count toward the applicable track.

Campaign Rules
-
Hotcoin users can join this campaign through the campaign page. Once users click "Join Now," they will automatically participate in both the TradFi and Crypto tracks. There is no need to join each track separately.
-
The TradFi track counts valid trading activity generated through Hotcoin TradFi products, including TradFi spot and futures trading.
-
The Crypto track counts valid trading activity generated through designated Hotcoin Crypto products. The specific product categories included are those displayed on the campaign page.
-
After joining the campaign, valid TradFi trading volume will automatically count toward the TradFi track, while valid Crypto trading volume will automatically count toward the Crypto track.
-
Eligible users in Event 1 will receive reimbursement equal to their actual trading loss. Event 1 is limited to the first 500 eligible users on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the time they join the campaign.
-
If multiple users in the same track reach the same trading volume in Event 2, ranking priority will be given to the user who reached it first.
-
To qualify for Event 3, users must meet both the TradFi and Crypto trading volume requirements for the applicable tier. Rewards from different tiers cannot be combined, and each user may claim only one tier reward. The total reward pool is 50,000 USDT and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis based on when users meet the required trading volume.
-
Rewards from Events 1, 2, and 3 may be claimed together. However, each reward may only be claimed once.
-
All campaign rewards will be distributed as Futures Trial Funds. The type, denomination, validity period, and applicable usage rules of the Trial Funds are subject to the information displayed on the relevant Hotcoin product page.
-
Only valid trading activity during the campaign period will be counted. Trading volume generated through wash trading, self-trading, related-account trading, abnormal arbitrage, or other prohibited activities will not be included in campaign calculations.
-
If a user participates in multiple campaigns during the same period, the same trading data may only be counted toward one campaign and cannot be used to claim rewards from multiple campaigns.
-
Users who engage in bulk account registration, wash trading, self-trading, related-account trading, abnormal arbitrage, leaderboard manipulation, reward abuse, or other prohibited activities may be disqualified from the campaign and have their rewards revoked. In serious cases, the relevant accounts may be suspended.
-
Campaign rewards will be distributed to eligible users' Hotcoin accounts within 7 business days after the campaign ends and all campaign data has been verified.
-
Hotcoin reserves the right of final interpretation for this campaign, as well as the right to modify or terminate it at any time without prior notice.
